Songs of the Lesser Servants: Spiritual Poems Spiritual Poems

The poems in this book depict the conflict between the secular-commercial and inner-spiritual views of life.In many poems the spiritual world interrupts the daily round of life flowing into consciousness, bringing harmony and an awe of the divine.Other times the poems portray lawlessness and distortion that make human life grotesque.Rather than teaching lessons, the poems describe how modern society has lost touch with spiritual truths.As an obsession with the material and secular way grows, a beautiful harmony yields to conflict; the divine and profane vie for attention.Only a renewal of traditional faith restores the spiritual.


Poetrys rhythms relay the inner sights.The reader hears the words in his or her own voice, suddenly glimpsing the spiritual world, which departs the scene having stirred the inner experience that often in modern life is fading.


The spiritual is ageless.But the material quickly dissolves exacting a toll upon the age that surrenders the eternal dimension.
